Have you noticed that today's Web3 projects seem more and more like 'skin-swapping versions':

A new DEX, the interface remains unchanged, just adding an AMM curve;
A new NFT market, with the same functionality, only the creator's revenue rate has changed;
In fact, the smart contract logic of many protocols is basically just a fork with a changed logo.

Why? Because the threshold for on-chain development is high, and the cost of testing is significant. Once the logic is written in stone, it is difficult to iterate. The result is severe product homogenization, high innovation risk, and a lack of community vitality.

The Boundless module system brings a revolutionary idea: you are not 'writing a product', you are 'assembling a product structure'.

Modularity is not a new concept; the key is that Boundless has turned it into 'logical assets'.

In traditional development, 'modules' usually refer to code components, but in Boundless, each module is:

  • Can run off-chain

  • Can be combined and called

  • Can generate ZK proofs

  • Can be trusted and referenced by any contract

This means you can put:

  • Trading matching logic in DEX

  • Bidding order mechanism in the NFT market

  • Governance authority management of DAO

  • Even user behavior analysis engines

Everything becomes a modular structure, combined, upgraded, and replaced as needed, building products like stacking blocks.

For example: build a customized NFT market using just 6 modules.

Suppose you want to create a 'music NFT market,' it requires:

  1. Create NFT module (music metadata writing)

  2. Selling module (supports one-time buyout or royalty sharing)

  3. Authentication module (only users holding a certain NFT can purchase)

  4. Playback record module (records off-chain playback behavior, generates listening proof)

  5. Payment distribution module (automatically splits for creators, platforms, and referrers)

  6. Reporting and content takedown module (community governance function)

In the past, you needed to deploy a bunch of contracts, design state storage structures, and test boundary conditions yourself, but now you only need to call these modules—some communities already have them, while some write their own version, and verify directly after combination.

The entire product logic is 'module connection + state verification + front-end adaptation.'

The 'combinatorial value' of modules far exceeds the 'single-point functional value.'

Many people think modules only lower the development threshold, but their greater value is to enable the product architecture to possess:

  • Rapid iteration capability (replace modules to update functionality)

  • Personalized deployment capability (different communities choose different module combinations)

  • Sustained incentive capability (module developers can obtain long-term usage fees)

This transforms Web3 products from 'contracts as products' to 'modules as capabilities.'

An excellent Boundless module developer may be worth more than a protocol founder in the future, because their modules may be reused by dozens of projects, becoming part of the industry's infrastructure.


DEX, NFT, DAO are not three types of products, but three types of modular combinations.

Boundless has allowed me to redefine the word 'product.' In the modular world:

  • DEX = trading matching + price synchronization + fee distribution + risk control module

  • NFT market = NFT minting + authorized circulation + display mechanism + revenue model

  • DAO = proposal logic + weight calculation + voting mechanism + execution contract

All these logics can be modularized and combined into infinite variations. This is not a hardcoded product, but a 'composable structure.'

You can even create 3 types of DEX prototypes in one day by just replacing 2 modules.

This is the true freedom of Web3 innovation.

In summary: modules are the 'logical layer API' of the next generation of Web3 products.

@Boundless Not only does it lower the development threshold, but it also redefines 'who creates the product' and 'how the product continuously evolves.' #Boundless

In the future, developers may no longer pursue 'writing a complete project,' but rather 'writing an excellent module,' because as long as it is widely referenced, you are participating in the co-construction of dozens of products. And Boundless is the starting point of this logical network. $ZKC
